Thank you for your email of 2 March in which you requested from the Insolvency Service:

“I would like the organisation to provide me with the following departmental documents around ICT and corporate procurement.

Many organisations within your region have different document title names:

ICT Strategy/Plan, ICT Department Plan, ICT Financial Plan

  1. ICT Org Chart ;- with names and job titles

  2. Corporate Procurement Strategy that covers 2023/24 and more.”

Your request has been dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

I can confirm the agency holds the information that you have requested and I have provided answers to your questions below.

  1. This is currently incomplete so there is nothing to disclose.
  2. The organogram for March 2023 is attached.
  3. This information is available to you from the link below:
